So I'm a size D in the chest and have broad shoulders. I got an XL and I honestly could have gotten a L if I wanted a more fitted look. They're very forgiving and comfortable.
I have a (mandatory) pair of Adar scrubs that aren’t high waisted and honestly I find them AWFUL for having room in the thigh/bum area, I even sized up and still don’t find them phenomenal for it. Could just be wrong style for me though!
Which Cherokee line? I'm a fat tech with thunder thighs. I wear Cherokee iflex. They have survived chub rub for 5 years and are going STRONG.
My favorite thing about iflex sets is that it comes with so many pockets and specifically a cell phone pocket that is located to the side and out of the "splash zone".
Scrubstar is a Walmart brand, but it works wonderfully for kennel/animal work. I've had mine for 5 plus years now and they hold up better than my normal lounge pants.
Can you take either of the sizes to a tailor and have them adjusted to fit you better? Besides that I would recommend going to a store that sells scrubs and trying on different brands and each of their lines.
ButterSoft by uniform advantage is my personal favorite. They have a flat front, elastic back jean style pant that have lasted years of heavy use. I am an older cvt, and I dislike fashion scrubs. I prefer the non-slinky fabric.
I wear Carhartts and they are very comfortable, don't shred due to chub rub and haven't faded in five years.
Mine are navy and they can bleed in the wash some but I don't have a lot of white so I don't care

Mandala.
100% they're very roomy in the thigh/butt area and run really true to size.
What about their tops?? I’m not a fan of fitted scrubs and prefer a roomier, relaxed fit I can move freely in. I also like oversized/boxy styles.

Healing Hands and Med Couture. Like wearing professional pajamas.
I love my healing hands tops but I always have to size up
I get that. I usually get varying sizes depending on the material.
I second Med Couture. I just got their joggers recently and I love them
Yessss, the joggers are so good. Love the fall colors too.
I like Adar on Amazon. They are also high waisted so my butt doesn’t show

I’ve switched to these too! Highly recommend!
I recommend Mandala. It’s cheap, great material, water resistant, but I also find that it’s fur resistant too!!! I never had fur on me after shifts

I wear scrubs from Dr Woof apparels and my butt/thighs feel comfy in them!
